"I am indeed that's why a cheap human like me made you a fool." Raneen replied still smiling wide.
"Don't you dare call me a human such a low life. I am a demon not a human." Oscuro replied with a proud voice.
At this Raneen's heart skipped a beat now she was feeling chills running down her spine. She realized how bad was the situation in which she was stuck in."I know you are shocked baby." Oscuro spoke while looking at her amused.
"So the thing is I am the one who lured you." He spoke.
"Almost two weeks ago when you came here with a lot of other people. You started to admire this place. Like think of a person who admires ruins. Then I saw you going upstairs. And I was shocked like come on what the hell were you thinking? huh? In a creepy place for you humans you decided to roam around alone? You were fascinated about this place that made my work easier I lured you. And guess what you took the bait. You walked towards the window having the view of lush gardens." Oscuro was narrating the entire story now.
"Don't think of me as someone who wastes their time in blabbering. I know you are confused and after you LoVeD me then why not give you a little favour what do you think? It's not like your opinion matters." He spoke looking down upon her.
Raneen was feeling extremely anguish and tried to free her hands harshly that made the chair to lose its balance and it fell down causing scratches all over her right arm and face. Some scratches were bleeding while others appeared red. Raneen didn't even hiss at these injuries because the extreme pain she felt from the betrayal had somehow made her numb. Oscuro looked at her and chuckled he wasn't bothered even a little. All of her tries will go in vain he knew that and was now enjoying her failure attempts.
"Darling come on you are so careless look you have hurt yourself." He spoke sweetly as if he was the old Oscuro. This dirty trick made Raneen scoff.
"You think I am weak enough to get hurt by this rat race?" Raneen replied calmly opposite of what she was feeling inside a whole volcano ready to erupt.
"You will get hurt pretty soon. I will fulfil all your wishes darling. After all I am your first and last love." He knew the effect of his words on her and was taking full advantage of it.
"You know when you fell from the window. It wasn't you who was clumsy but me who intentionally pushed you. I wanted you to stay here longer and guess what the scene infront of my eyes say I got successful in my mission. That tracker of yours gosh I thought you had an escape but you decided to trust a complete stranger. That creepy who followed you. You think he could detect in that drunk state where have you gone? Nah baby it was me who made you encounter him again and again. Everything happened here was planned by me. I killed him. I saved you. No no sorry acted like I saved you. But let me say this once you do have a thing for fainting and falling unconscious. Wait let me count how many times you did this. 5 no maybe 7 heck it's not even countable." He spoke looking straight into her eyes with devilish smirk on his face.
With an inhumane speed he slapped his hand harshly with a white powder across her face where she got hit just then.
Raneen hissed loudly at the severe pain. Her wounds felt as if they were getting cut open with a knife again and again.
"Honey you forgot? Our medical hack putting salts on wounds."
Oscuro whispered and rubbed his hand on her wounds.
"Look how much I care about you." Now he came back to his original spot and looked dead in her eyes.
"Seems like you got a lot of questions. Till everything gets prepared let's answer a few of them. What say?" He asked sitting on a slab.
"What preparation?" She asked slowly.
"You got a poor memory for sure. The preparation of sacrifice. Actually I didn't know you would come back this soon. Sorry for the delay hmm." He spoke in a row as if he wasn't talking about her brutal murder to herself.
"I wanna know what the hell you did to me?" Raneen finally snapped at him.
"You are under my spell darlin." Oscuro spoke with a devilish smile on his face.
"So when I found you unconscious for the first time. No no let me rephrase it. When I acted like I found you unconscious. I took you to the ghost town. Already an unnecessary presence had disturbed the other creatures living here and you were my prey so why share it? That's why when you woke up you were in the ghost town. And the house you were at is the place that was usable others were already inhibited by the creatures you don't know about. And that night when we were attacked. It wasn't you who opened the door. It was me who made you look back and then open the door. Those little servants of mine did a great job in scaring you. You should have seen your face at that time. Woah what a sight." He was laughing loudly and grabbed something from the table.
Raneen's eyes went wider and wider at every single confession he was making.
The air pressure in the dirty hall increased and she saw so-called Jake walking.
"You!" Raneen spoke and looked at him joining dots.
"You are also involved in this!" Raneen asked him.
"My master ordered me and I fulfilled his order." Jake replied in a normal human voice.
"Your voice." She asked.
"It's like this only." He replied precisely.
"So all you said was also a big fat lie?" She asked with a hammering heart. Though she knew the answer already, she asked in anticipation, that she might be having another nightmare or something and it all turns out to be a lie.
Indeed it was a stupid thought but doesn't we all calm ourselves down with countless comforting lies. She was doing the same at that moment.
"Jake!" Oscuro's voice was extremely dark and penetrating. So sharp that Raneen winced in pain. He was a demon after all his real face, voice thus everything belonged to him was enough to make a lay man go insane with terror.
"Oops sorry baby!" He chirped with a honey laced voice again. Jake simply walked out of the room shivering. Shivering? Wait why the hell he shivered? It was all on Raneen's mind when Oscuro replied to her thoughts.
"Because he serves me and if he dares to do something that offends me then he will face the consequences neither you nor he can imagine." He replied and at that moment Raneen's eyes caught the sight of a sharp small knife he was holding in his hand.
"He knows you are mine and if he dares to interrupt, indulge or even glance at you he will be cut into pieces in a blink." He spoke gliding the knife on her arm. Raneen had goose bumps because of the extreme frightening feeling she could sense that nothing good can come out of him.
"I was disappointed when you believed his stupid daily soap opera's story. I thought he might come up with something smart but it was my fault to get my hopes high for such a fool of a servant I have. He told me about soap operas, that they are famous amongst ladies and I think he's not that stupid after that. Look how he got you all wrapped up around his finger after he told you his tragic past." He laughed at her with his full heart.
Raneen scoffed that made Oscuro stop laughing.
"What did you just do?" He asked a bit annoyed at her reply.
"I was pitying you. My dear demon you are unknown to feelings so it's not Jake who was stupid but you. Low life? At least we got common sense and basic manners of living. Looks like you are low then these beings you call low. You are worse than animals then how can you even be compared to us humans?!" Raneen snarled. Oscuro hissed at her words that's how hard they hit his ego. He felt as if someone had slapped him with all their might.
"Ahh-" Raneen's scream reverbed in the auditorium where he had kept her. Her eyes were tightly closed and she could feel warm liquid rolling in the form of droplets from the back of her hand.
Oscuro had stabbed her with the knife he was holding.
'Did he just stab me with the knife!' was all over her mind when Oscuro whispered.
"Hey stupid, it's dagger not a knife." Oscuro spoke.
She was feeling sharp pain in her hand.
Her eyes stung and when she finally opened them they were full of unshed tears.
"Aww you look cute with your pink nose." Oscuro spoke pinching her nose gently as a gesture of love.
"Why did you make me fall in love with you when all you needed was my blood!!!" Raneen lost her cool and screamed at him with all her anger and might.
"Someone is mad I guess. See darlin I am a good man." Oscuro spoke and held the dagger that he dug in her flesh himself not too long ago.
"I am a pre who never forces anyone with my might. I simply got your consent by making you fall in love with me. And you tell me who the hell, falls in love within a few days? You are hopeless." After finishing his sentence he jerked the dagger in her flesh and Raneen's bloody screams could be heard in the entire hall.
"You know right after you confessed your LoVe to me I made you drink a red drink. That was a potion in your language. I implanted myself within you for a while so you comeback-" Oscuro's words were cut off due to Raneen's sky shattering screams when he was cutting her veins vertically from her hand to her arms mercilessly.
"Babe how can you be so mannerless I was talking. You know what." With that Oscuro punched her assaulted hand and when she screamed he immediately cut off her tongue.
Raneen's eyes went wider as they were about to come out of their sockets at his attempt she was crying bitterly at this point. The pain was simply too much for her to handle when she was already not healed herself.
"You remember I hate to hear your screams~" Oscuro spoke with a lovely tone and a smile on his face making Raneen remember a particular incident.*Flashback*
"How are you feeling?" He asked softly with the same warm smile he always had.
"Why did you knock me out?" She asked ,being dead serious.
"You weren't able to bear the pain I had to do anyway." He spoke looking away.
"Was it me or you who couldn't bear my screams?" She spoke firmly.He looked at her and remained silent.
*Flashback end*
Raneen's eyes shed more tears at this.
"So as I was saying-" Oscuro continued from where he left off as if nothing really happened.
"I wanted to to comeback here yourself not by any pressure or force. And look you did just a little dream I made you see and you are running around like crazy to be with me. You poor little soul." There was nothing left to be listened now. Raneen was feeling extremely weak because of all the tortures she was bearing. Her eyes fell at her feet and she saw a demonic sign under her chair. Her blood was getting accumulated at her feet making a blood pool. Oscuro cut the vessels of her both arms making them lifeless and Raneen helpless.
